Physicians as Opium Slaves.

Many physicians become slaves to the
opium habit A recent Austrian medical
author speaks of the incredible number OF
physicians who have fallen victims to it
and of the many who have only just cs-
capped A Prussian writer had sixteen
cases of morphia addiction under his
care, of which medical men formed more
than one-third. The majority OF my own
patients are medical men. The physician
is apt to resort to the drug because his
calling involves special inroads into his
mental and physical we'll being. Nearly
always, in them as in others, there is
some form of neurotic disorder. Any
form of persistently painful disturbance
involves this risk. A medical gentleman
Ia former patient of mine) says:
II proclaim it rs my sincere belief that
any physician afflicted with ncurotic dis
case of marked severity, and who has in
his possession hypodermic syringe and
Magendie's solution, is bound to become,
sooner or later, if he tampcrs ut all with
the potent and fascinating alternative, an
opium habitue. "-J. B. Mattison, M. d.,

credibly informed, have increased the extra
edition OF that journal containing the re-
suit of the baseball matches from 1900 to
24,OOO copies A few evenings since, on
invitation, we visited its pressroom, in
which arc located two Presto presses,
about $50 o'clock. The plates were
already on the cylinder, containing de-
tailed description of the match up to the
sixth inning. In these plates were In
serted number of square black blocks,
with the names of the contesting clubs
preceding them. At the telephone, near
the presses, was teller, who announced
the results of each inning, received di-
rectly from the ground, to the pressman
standing ready, die in hand, to impress ON
the respective blocks the required figures.
AS soon as the result of the ninth inning
was received and the totals inserted the
machines werc set in motion, and in

must tell you just how the kings that
we met were dressed. King No. 1 had
three different kinds Of blankets wrapped
around him as he sat on his throne, which
was an empty gin cask with an old native
mat thrown over it. King No. 2 came
marching in with nothing on but an old
coat, which looked like one of Lord Mel
sons cast off coats. The lace on the sleeves
came down to his fingers ends and the
broad collar with fancy facings folded
back to his shoulders. He was accompa-
MED by servant who carried an umbrella
over him. King No. had on green
coat which formerly belonged to one of the
London sharpshooters. He also wore o
vest. These two articles constituted his
entire wardrobe. There were seven kings
at the meeting, and all were dressed in a
similar fashion. One of them had brass
rings on his ankles and three or four iron
rings on his arms. The servants placed
before us seven bottles Of palm wine, one
from each king We asked >for water,
saying we did not drink wine, and water
was brought us. The kings bore them
selves with great dignity throughout the
entire interview.-Congo Missionary in

The First Circular Saw.

The circular saw was in operation for
saving lumber on our falls some years
previous to 1920. The inventors of the
circular saw were Messrs. Jacquith q
Eastman, who carried on the manufacture
of lumber in the cove, their mill occupy
ing the site where the pulp mill now
stands well remember seeing this saw
in operation previous TO 1920, cutting out
clapboards. The logs were sawed into
four feet lengths and placed on machine
propelled by water power and somewhat
similar to turning lathe, where the
bark and sup wood were taken off. They
were then fastened on the clapboard
machine, the log turning Oh its center and
row of clapboards cut off by circular
saw around the log, and if the log was OF
sufficient dimensions second row was
taken off The log was propelled back
and forward and turned by machinery,
giving the thickness of u clapboard by an
index without the aid of mill man. The
machine was considered q great invention
ut the time and attracted much attention
from strangers visiting the town.-Brnns-
wick (Mc.) Telegraph.

A well known cpicure, who never lost a
nights steep in his life, but who claims to
know all about cures for insomnia, pro-
poses two novel methods Of treatment.
One of these is: sect up, take bath,
dress yourself carefully, go down to the
dining room and cat something. Then go
back to bed. The act of dressing and eat
ing will call your mind from it's troubled
and slcepless state and you will sink into
a quiet slumbor. Or, after you have
dressed yourself, go down to the kitchen,
start your gas stove, draw kettle OF
water, boil it, and drink glass of it as
hot as you can bear it. I have never seen
this recipe fail. New York Evening Sun.
